Met some "Message Believers" today
Traveling back from East Conference my wife and I met some followers of William Branham at a Restraunt. Had a very interesting discussion about the essential ity of Jesus name baptism, Holy Ghost infilling, and serpent seed doctrine. The man was a pastor and while we did not agree on the doctrine of initial evidence, he did say that he had spoken in tongues at times in private prayer. I have always wondered how many followers of William Branham actually do speak in tongues.
We both werecourteous but firm in our positions and affirmed our agreement and appreciation each other's stance on Jesus Name baptism and Holiness. I was clear at one point that I believed William Branham to have been in error and believed that one had not been truly born again unless they had spoken in tongues.
For my first encounter with Branham believers I was impressed with their sincerity and congeniality. I'm praying they come to truth and I have a feeling they are praying the same for me! Lol

If you think they were sincere and congenial you should meet some of the Mormons I have met!

Re: Met some "Message Believers" today
me too, but i note that nowhere in Scripture is God said to judge one's dogma, but rather their heart. Seems strange to me, too though.

Depends on their roots many come out of Pentecostal roots thus their feelings about tongues is favorable. However others who have not are antagonistic towards tongues or any demonstrative worship.
It is a marvel that here we are 50 years after his death and their movement is yet strong. Some of the latest defectors have really exposed so many of the so-called vindications of his ministry as frauds. Very interesting.

Haiti has this group that calls it self Apostolic baptizes in Jesus name, and believes that Jesus wasn't GOD, and but believes in tongues. I also met some of them in upstate New York.

Re: Met some "Message Believers" today
I have heard of Branhamites who baptize in Branham's name. I thought all of them believed in the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. I was not aware that some don't believe it that way. I know they are a strict group of people.
